Room for everyone, and then some. The Galvani II is a two story design that balances shared space and private retreat across 3,341 square feet, and this one sits on a large corner lot in Stoneriver. Inside, an open plan layout connects the Great Room, a casual dining area, and a formal dining room, all anchored by a kitchen built for inspired cooks. Modern and spacious, it offers soft close cabinetry, a center island with breakfast bar, and room to actually cook and gather. A study just off the foyer gives you a true office rather than a corner of a bedroom. The first floor suite with its own full bath is the piece most floor plans simply do not offer, flexible enough for extended family, long term guests, or a quiet work from home setup. Upstairs, four more bedrooms include an owner's suite with a private retreat, plus a game room and loft that flex into whatever you need most. Five bedrooms, four full baths, two car garage. Out back is where this one earns its keep. The screened porch looks west across the corner lot, and the sunset views are worth planning your evenings around. Residents of Stoneriver enjoy a clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness center, and walking trails, just off Interstate 87 with easy reach to Research Triangle Park, Raleigh, and Durham. Come see how well this one lives
